The site is oddly Silent about the situation. We are in unprecedented times


You say this is unprecedented times. But correct me if I am wrong. The government has always given non government institutions access to government facilities and data. Some are even in charge or running infrastructure and providing software.

Lots of contractor in the past seem to have had varying levels of access to government databases and infrastructure to fulfill their contracted duty.

The only major difference I see here is the entity and connection to specific people and the openness about who.

Just recently there was a story, I think here on hacker news, where somebody was doing some work for a government agency and built into the bill granting the contract were provisions to conceal the entity doing the work and bared government officials to comment on the work being done.

So I guess if we are in interesting times it’s that we are an ally being let know?


It isn’t really silent. There is a lot of discussion. But the posts keep getting removed from the front page

You can still find the posts looking under New or using the search feature

Yes, anything unflattering about Musk gets flagged quite rapidly.


We're in the stage where the enablers are having trouble maintaining their delusions. They don't talk much in that stage.


David Lebryk had to retire as part of this. Probably wise choice. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Lebryk


Before even securing security clearances and induction processes?

Do you even qualify as a state, if you just allow rich private citizens to nominate people to do things inside your security ring?


Are you asking this about a country of which the President is a convicted felon and launched a meme crypto 48 hours before being sworn in ?
